Our culture versus her body
The Backstory
11/09/21 • 34 min
A safety pin can protect the baby against evil spirits. Prolonged labour means she cheated on her husband. Swollen feet? She must be having a male child. Her age doesn’t matter as long as she is physically big enough to bear children.
These are just a few cultural beliefs that Dr. Babatunde Adewumi shared with us in this episode. Some of these beliefs are harmless, some are helpful, but most are dangerous and are contributing to Nigeria’s high maternal mortality ratio.

Drug addiction is not about the drugs
The Backstory
09/21/21 • 33 min
In the 1970s the United States had a drug abuse problem so they launched a war on drugs. The belief was that the availability of drugs like marijuana, heroin, and cocaine lead to addiction. So, the argument went, if you get rid of drugs, you’ll get rid of addiction. Right? Wrong. In this episode, we review the research and interview a recovering addict to understand why drug abuse and addiction are not about the drugs. What does this mean for Nigeria’s emerging drug abuse problem?

About Afghanistan
The Backstory
08/17/21 • 22 min
On Sunday, August 15th, the world woke up to the news that Afghanistan is once again under the control of the Taliban. The US and other allied nations have been withdrawing troops from Afghanistan since February 2020 and analysts had predicted that the Taliban would probably take over at some point. But the speed at which it happened shocked just about everyone.
In this episode of The Backstory, we’ll remind you why the United States got into Afghanistan in the first place and how they found out, like the rest of us, that the Taliban is very much still a force to be reckoned with.

#staystrongUniJos
The Backstory
09/07/21 • 25 min
Last month, Plateau State, specifically Jos and about three local governments surrounding Jos had been under some kind of curfew since August 14th. The situation quickly escalated to the point where students had to be evacuated from the University of Jos (UniJos).
In this episode, we speak with Esther, a UniJos student who gives a firsthand account of what she experienced in the first 24 hours before she was evacuated.
Note: Esther is not the student’s actual name.

Can the Nigerian police hack into your mind?
The Backstory
08/31/21 • 28 min
On the 24th of June, Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu was paraded in front of Nigerian journalists and at that time she confessed to killing Usifo Ataga in self-defense. About three weeks later, she said she had nothing to do with Mr. Ataga’s death. Same person, different version of events.
In this episode, we discuss why confessions are so powerful and how it’s possible to hack into a person’s mind in order to get a false confession.

Three moves to 1960
The Backstory
09/28/21 • 22 min
